James Devine (born 21 May 1953)[1] is a former Labour Party politician in Scotland. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Livingston from 2005 until 2010 and Chairman of the Scottish Labour Party between 1994 and 1995.
On 16 June 2009, following the 2009 expenses scandal, he was barred by the Labour Party from seeking re-election at the 2010 general election, after reports he claimed expenses for work on his home from a non-existent firm.[2][3] He was convicted of false accounting on 10 February 2011[4] and sentenced to 16 months' imprisonment on 31 March 2011.[5]
